When you publish your website, you copy files from your computer to a web server that's maintained by a hosting company. WebMatrix publishes the website by copying files to a remote server, and it can optionally deploy one or more databases to the hosting site.

WebMatrix Beta shows you the changes it plans to make on the remote server, you approve the changes, and then it publishes the site.

This includes entering settings for your web hosting account and deciding how to publish the database (if your site has one).
